Whatever

IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2008

2 Corinthians 12:
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Whatever these things are that are concerning us, we can ask. Sometimes they depart, sometimes they don’t – not right away or maybe not until HOME. But either way He has told us His Grace is sufficient. Yet it takes more than just reading these words I have come to understand. The Text says His Strength is made perfect in our weakness but I think unless we choose to believe His Grace is sufficient for us, personally, in this particular ‘whatever’ we will not know His Strength, we will only ‘feel’ our weakness. Can we choose to believe, even BOAST that we have the Favor and Good Will of God resting upon us in the midst of this ‘whatever’? I wonder is the key to experiencing these verses to say aloud and within that the GOOD WILL OF GOD is resting upon us? Maybe if we couple these verses with some others we will have in our own minds a stronger foundation for believing.
Psalm 145: 17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Whatever our whatevers today His GOOD WILL is resting upon us. I am determined to continue practicing this today. And your prayers for me are much appreciated. HE IS AWESOME.
Abba, You truly are AWESOME and Your Word is true and I am by Your Grace declaring that Your Good Will rests upon me. And not only upon me but upon ALL who call upon You in Truth. Thank You Abba. And this morning we pray for our IDOK Troops, we thank You for Your Good Will upon them today and their families; for the protection You are giving to them, for the ability to make wise choices. We pray for the Peace of Israel and the Repentance of America. We pray for the election of the President who will turn us to You Lord Jesus. We pray for the defeat especially in California of laws that protect and even encourage behavior that You have said in Your Word is an abomination to You. And Lord if you will work through us to rescue souls. And we pray this morning for these listed here, each of these have whatevers in their lives and we pray for those whatevers to be removed and relieved and we entrust them now to You in Jesus Name.
